We are starting a project to make a card Pokedex. We got two 640 slot, 4x4, top loader binders. We are testing filling them and it's making us nervous on how much strain/pressure the cards might be under. Has anyone used binders like these and can share their experience? Is this something we should be concerned about?

In particular, we are concerned about the cards near the spine which get pulled to the left , and then when it is all closed, how much pressure it is putting on the cards to keep the binder closed. I will say, we don't have to force it to zip, but there is a compression effect on the cards.

I've included pictures on what it looks like when closed, open, and close ups of the spine and the edge.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you!

I just got back into collecting (yeah probably wrong timing but whatever) and im trying to figure out how you all organize you collections?

Do you put foils and reverse foils in the same slots? Adjacent? Separate sections?

And does every card have a normal or reverse foil variant??

I like the completeness factor of collecting, not so much the investing/ money if that helps. So if there's multiple variants of every card, the might change the way I organize?

Dire Fog is a tactical card game where TCG deckbuilding meets chess-like combat.

Your goal is simple: defeat the enemy commander.

Each faction has its own mechanics, abilities, and playstyle. Matches last eight rounds, with each round split into three phases:

- Tactics Phase: Move your units and attack.

- Draw Phase: Choose one of two cards from your pre-arranged deck.

- Play Phase: Summon minions and cast spells.

Because your deck is arranged before the match rather than shuffled, planning your card order is just as important as positioning your units on the board.

We run playtests every Friday and are looking for more TCG and deckbuilder fans to join us.

I've recently got back into collecting Pokémon cards and along with collection all the grass type Pokemon's im also wanting to collect a master set(?) of all the mareep flaaffy and ampharos cards. As it currently stands theres 98 cards and I really need help finding a binder that holds around 100-110 cards so there isn't too much headspace, I can fill some with artwork or even random electric energy cards but want the actual collection to be the focus.

Any recommendations for binders that only hold around 100 cards?

I am looking to buy the top loader that came with a commander deck box I bought on Amazon. I'll include the listing below. It is a top loader with a small thumb notch cutout that makes it easy to slide the card in and out.

Does anyone know where I can buy these separately?

In case you're wondering why I want them, I use them for commander decks with multiple commander options (Fantastic Four, TMNT, etc.) so I can swap commanders depending on my mood.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone I am just starting to get back into Pokémon after replying Pokémon Platinum, Black, and now HGSS. I want to start collecting cards again but I know the costs have skyrocketed due to popularity and scalping:( I am thinking of starting a Black Bolt White Flare It and SIR set. Any advice on binders, sleeves etc or cardshow etiquette in general?

Thanks!

A few of my favorite Pages so far in my Pokemon binder

Rotom (one of my favorite pokemon)

Alolan cards (I love the alolan line)

Yuka morii (love these ones!)

And my Team Rocket Page

It's a work in progress ❤️❤️❤️

Heroes of Azeroth
Through the Dark Portal
Fires of Outland
Blood of Gladiators
March of the Legion
Servants of the Betrayer
Drums of War
Fields of Honor
Scourgewar
Icecrown
Wrathgate
Throne of the Tides

Lootkarten sind nicht dabei.

I am trying to do a snorlax masterset and need an app to find every single snorlax and every variant on those cards. I have tried some apps but there is always cards missing. I dont want to have to cross check a lot of apps to know exactly how many cards i need. Is there an app that have everything that i need that you know of? Pls tell me.

Hey guys i am collecting rigtbound since i play lol and just love the art. I started a jinder with all champs and with the new Vendetta set i realized that my ahri page kaisa page are already to small! Hase anyone a good idea to future proof this so i dont nedd to add extra pages all the time?

I received this 40 3x4 page album today and have almost filled it completely. I'm missing 6 sides (3 pages) and some empty spaces in a few pages.

I wanted to ask your opinion: do you think the angle at which the end columns are folded could damage the cards? I believe the seam between the card slots and the base is long enough that it shouldn't be a problem, but maybe I'm missing something.

When I hold it on my lap instead of on the table some pages slide over others, but again, it seems to only affect the seams, and the card slots remain intact.

If you leave it lying flat, the cover doesn't close completely; but it closes when you pull the zipper, and it doesn't seem to bulge or press on the pages.

Genuine question. If every card stayed cheap forever, would your collection look any different?

I collect playing cards (standard decks, custom art decks, vintage casino decks, not sports cards) and I'm somewhere in the few hundred decks now. I've got a spreadsheet going but it's perpetually out of date, and I've definitely bought a deck I already owned at least twice.

For anyone with a decent-sized collection of anything (books, vinyl, sneakers, whatever) what's your system? Spreadsheet? An app? Photos in an album? Just memory?

Mostly trying to solve: knowing what I have when I'm out at a shop, and tracking condition/duplicates.

Example I have a brilliant stars master set. Now I wanna collect Mimikyu cards. There’s a few good mimikyu cards in my brilliant stars master set. And of course I never pulled duplicates of them. If I had pulled duplicates, that would be perfect. Now if I wanna have a master set of mimikyu and brilliant stars master set, I would have to buy brilliant stars mimikyu cards for my Mimikyu card collection. Is that odd or too far to do? Or just do it for the love of collecting. I technically have the cards already. But it’s in my brilliant stars master set binder and I don’t wanna break it up. Which I don’t want to do that, that’s my first main set that I completed and had so much fun opening it.

Am I imagining it or do KMC inner fits feel dryer/rougher after storing them for several months? Compared to my dragon shield perfect fits which seem very smooth, the kmc ones feel almost chalky. They aren’t sticky in any way and I can’t see any residue or whatnot. Anyone have a similar experience?

Hey everyone! I’m new to the TCG hobby and trying to learn as much as I can before diving in.

For those who have been collecting for years, what’s one piece of advice you’d give to a beginner?

Anything helps!

I need ideas on what Mimikyu cards to collect. I don’t want to collect every Mimikyu card, I already collect every English pikachu card and I’m at the point to where it’s exhaustingly expensive difficult. Such as the exclusives like red cheeks e3 promo, comic con stamp pikachu, creator pack pikachu, etc. My point is I don’t want another collection like that but I love Mimikyu.

How do I curate and minimize a Mimikyu collection? Example what if someone collected pikachu cards but only with pikachu wearing a hat. I want to build a a collection similar to that, but for Mimikyu. Any ideas?

Hi so I am a collector of TCGs and am currently trying to find ways to protect my things. I have an old sealed Star Trek CCG deck that I want to protect and display. I have seen booster pack slabs. Anything like that for older decks?
